AN EARNEST LIFE.

Take life as an earnest vital, essential
affair-takc it as though you were per-
sonally born to the task of performing a
merry part in it-as though the world
had waited for your coming. Take it as
though it was grand opportunity to do
and achieve; to help the good schemes,
to help and cheer a suffering, weary, it
may be broken hearted brother. The
fact is, life is undervalued by the major
ity of mankind; it is not made half SO
much of as it should be. Where is the
man or woman that accomplishes one
half what night be done? Who can not
look back upon opportunities lost, plans
unachieyed, thoughts crushed, aspira-
tons unfulhlled, and all caused by the
lack of the necessary and possible effort?
If we know better how to take and make
the most of life, it would be far greater
and more triumphant then what it is.
Now and then man stands aside from
the crowd, la5ors earnestly, steadfastly,
confidentialy. and straIghtway becomes
famous for greatness of some sort The
world wonders, admires, Idolizes yet it
only Illustrates what each may do if he
takes hold of life with a purpose. If a
man says he will, and follows it up, he
may expect to accomplish anything reas-
enable

LET Us BORE FOR GAS.

Garden City has let the contract to sink
hole in the ground 5000 feet. This is
right. II Garden City had the natural
advantages of Dodge City, she would be
booming. But while Dodge has the adj
vantages, she is content to be silent and
suck her thumb. while every little town
in the country and along the railroad are
preparing to bore for gas, artesian water,
salt, and. coal We, the largest and
wealhiest city west of Hutchinson, are
doing nothing. We will wake up some
fine morning to find that some city
near us has struck natural gas and is
booming and Dodge is left to curse her
lack of gumption. We are talking of de-
preston in values and yet at the same
time we have every reason to believe that
there are millions of wealth beneath us
awaiting to be developed.

Mrs. Lille D. Blake, in her testimony
before the committee GA relation between
labor and capital said: Marriage is not
so much of an attraction as il used to be
or as ii ought to be Tor women. We have
in this state New York. over y, 900 sur
plus of female population and sup
posing that every man, was married, there
still would be $4,000 women who could
not even have husbands though they all
wanted to be married while of course all
do not. One-third of all women over 81
are not married. Marriage, then is no
longer career for women, nor a means
of support for them. If this is the case
would not an invitation to these wom-
en- to come to Kansas be a blessing not
only to them but also to the surplus of
Kansas young men.

AN ALARMING EVIL.

One of the saddest and most alarming
evils among u.s. is the want of parental
discipline, and the lawless spirit result
ing from it, among the youth of our land
American children generally govern
their parents When they get beyond
the period of infancy, they almost be-
come young ladies and gentleman. Boys
and girls are generally,to very light eX-
tent, under the oversight Of their parents.
Not unfrequently they are sent into the
street that their mother may not be troubl-
ed with them, and such boys quickly &C
quire all the accomplishments which be-
long to young men of the period. The
girls walk the streets arrayed in the fash
ion Of the day, and read the immoral pa
pers, and before they enter upon woman
hood often have their minds corrupted
with false views of life. and imaginations
excited by images ruinous to mind and
heart.
WHY, with such an education as our
young people generally obtain, need one
be surprised at our young men, and the
fast habits of some of our young woman.
The evil seeds being sown every
day in our streets, must be expected to
take root and in due time spring up with
deadly fruit Has not the time come for
parents to watch more closely the inn
preston, for time and eternity, being daily
made upon the minds of their children!

! For the past - years the CITY Drug
Store, of Dodge City. has been known
| far and near as strictly first-cIass Drur

This house, on the contrary has steadily

by its regularly increasing trade. Four
times have they been obliged to enlarge

How well they succeeded is shown bv the

STAND BY YOUR TOWN.

No citizen should ever tire OF saying
good things about his town, and should
certainly never be guilty Of speaking evil
of it. No town is faultless and all have
more or less difficulties to contend with.
These difficulties should be met by every
citizen with a strong and manly heart.
Substantial encouragement and hearty
endorsement are as essential to the wei
fare of a town as natural resources. The
old saying that in union there is strength,
goes far with the business enterprise and
great industrial pursuits as in matters of
home and family united effort counts for
something. This spirit has to alarge eX-
tent, prevailed in Dodge City, and, as a
result, we have large number of bust
ness blocks which for architectural beau
ty and completeness are not eXcelled by
any west of Kansas City. Our city hall,
college buildings, two trunk lines Of rail
road, each with their divisions at Dodge
and other railroads coming. A population
larger than any west of Hutchinson, and
more wealthy than any city of its size in
the state, all speak OF the wonderful pro
gress we are making AS we look back
over these results we take courage to
reach out, plan more largely, and have a
good hope for future greatness.
We yet need manufacturing industries
established in our city Where is our
board of trade? Let it be composed of
our leading, wide awake business men.
Let every citizen stand ready to give fl
nancial support. Let the board of trade
be the channel through which these in
dustrious are brought. When there arts
es differences of opinion, let us have
honest, candid discussion which all will
acknowledge to be better than mugwump-
cry. A liberal spirit and a high mind go
along way in accomplishing great results.
Stand by your town and let every citizen
be united in every good word and work
calculated to advance the interests of our
community.

Whole Town is Coming.

Howard Vaughn, one OF the largest con-
tractors on the Manitoba railroad, was in
town this morning looking for men to
work on the grade, but he was unable to
get many, as there is so much work to be
done in the city that very few men are
idle He says he has been on many roads
but never saw one where the work was
rushed through in short time as on this.
The engineers are continually at work
ahead of the grade, in order to improve
the line when necessary They made a
change last week between here and KAHN
bow falls that is estimated to decrease the
amount of clay to be moved from 600 to
5000 yards, but they did not alter the
route to any extent Mr.. Vaughn says
that for the past five years it has been the
zenith Of his desires to secure home IN
Great Falls. and now that he has seen the
CITY he is more determined than ever te
locate here. He said: II receive a1mos'
| every day letters from my friends in Penn
| bina county, Dakota, asking me about the
| chance of going into business III the Falls
| and I invariably reply. better chance hert
! than ever saw elsew here: come ahead.
Mr.. Vaughn is an old pioneer ana knows
what he is talking about. He was one o.
| the first settlers in Pembina county, ant
| took an active part in organizing the city
of Pembina and all the adjoining town
| and has a strong influence among the citi
